    "content": "assets against an ever growing threat of terrorism. Improved security will also contribute to better environment of doing business and bring in more tourists. This sector is, therefore, critical to the survival and development of a country. Therefore, it is important to say that these are enablers for the realization of national goals including the Big Four Agenda, Vision 2030 as well as regional goals on Africa Agenda 2063 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Under the Foreign Relations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs proposed allocations which amounted to Kshs17.1 billion against a resource requirement of Kshs36 billion. This gap is huge and may affect the operation of our foreign missions abroad. But in view of the limited resources against the many wants of the country, my Committee is optimistic that the Ministry will be considered for additional resources in the Supplementary Budget to enable them undertake some critical activities which have not been factored in this Budget. These activities include, the construction of a new Ministry headquarters at an estimated cost of Kshs4 billion; opening of fully-fledged diplomatic missions in Accra, Dakar, Mozambique and Djibouti and consulate and liaison offices in Guangzhou, Mumbai, Hargeisa, Lagos and Kismayu, among others. Some of these are already in the Ministry’s Budget, but without the requisite allocations from the National Treasury for operationalisation, the amount allocated so far is not adequate to take care of this operation."
